“The tour was amazing. With my wife we went on August 2024 and because we didn't have much time decided to do this tour to see the northern part of Montenegro. We were so pleased that our tour operators Vlad was eager to tell us lots about the montenegrin history, and he also showed us some place that since me and my wife are nature lovers we loved them.

“I cannot say enough positive remarks about my experience with MIS travel agency.

We visited an ethno village for a delicious traditional breakfast and continued to our rafting destination. The rafting experience was remarkable and is a must when visiting Montenegro- the water is crystal clear and the surroundings are amazing. Over all this trip with MIS was unforgettable, and I would HIGHLY recommend any of their trips to visitors of Montenegro. Can't wait for next years experiences!”
